Collection of 6 Gateway themed stories spanning all Star Trek franchises
Just a quick note on this collection: like all anthologies some stories are stronger than others. Starting with STO, Captain Kirk must get himself out of another seemingly hopeless situation using his wits, attraction and sheer audacity. In one of these stories Captain Janeway meets with Q again and we find out about the history behind the Gateways. The book ends with the disappearance of Captain Jean Luke Picard who must negotiate with the long lost race who first set up the gateways, the Iconians. And throughout his travels he surprises himself by applying his diplomactic skills to his interactions with his most challenging 'foe': a child (remember how much fun he has dealig with kids in the past on TNG?). Thus we have an interesting and fun collection of 6 stories that have the over-arcing theme about the Gateways that the Iconians have strewn throughout the Galaxy and how different Star Trek Captains and their crews deal with the situation that they find themselves in.
